In 1845 Dave Jordan built the Kentucky House as it now stands on the Jordan-Bowles Ranch. Jordan
with his several sons came from Tennessee several years before the Civil War. He settled northeast of
Grand Prairie near the site where the house now stands. An AIA feasibility study by Eugene George’s
map shows the original cabin before its move to be located at approximately Meyers Road, NE 31st and
Bowles Streets. Robert L. Hight, relative to Mr. Jordan is quoted, “I have checked the deed records of
Dallas County and I find that the land along the West Fork of the Trinity River on which the house was
built was deeded to my great-grandfather, Dave Jordan, December 29, 1859.”
